ITEM DESCRIPTION: Ok, this time I purchased beads just based on the color and wow! Looking at these beads I'm seeing beautiful water with white waves crashing - the coloring is light teal - there are variations in color Including white as well as light cream to brown striations. When all of these beads posed for their photos, the coloring is showing a little darker as a group than individual strands. The coloring is a little "gemmy" too :)

Please consult the photographs so you can see all of the variances in the stones coloring. Remember - the group shots makes all the strands just a little bit darker when they are all together.

ADDITIONAL INFO: As with all of natures creations, expect variations from bead to bead and strand to strand. Due to the nature of how this shape is created, you may see occasional striations/chips in the strand.

The pictures you are looking at may be closeups so you can see the details on the beads...please consult the listing for item measurements.

PHOTOGRAPH INFORMATION:

I do my best to take accurate photos of items I sell. All pictures are taken inside using light tent/filters by Doug Baldwin with daylight bulbs. Please keep in mind that light type and computer monitor settings could possibly show a slightly different color/tone/brightness to the beads.

For each multi angle photo you see - I actually take 4-5 photos of each view, and select the one that best represents the products you see. I also provide an overview photo of stock on hand so you can see the overall coloring of that batch.

Because I also do shoot at different angles, it's possible that beads that are "underneath" will appear darker due to shadowing.

If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm happy to be of assistance <3
